Female Narratives in the Music Industry by Avery Johnson
Thursday, December 05, 2013
What is it that women must do to get their fifteen minutes of fame in the music industry? Although some are able to find loopholes, many of them find that they are successful when they follow the advice of the men who are in power over them. Based on what has gained media attention in the past, women must present themselves in a way that exploits their sexuality and appeals to men. In music, a singer is told that these types of performances will help her break away from outdated values and gain a wider adult audience, but that is not what happens. When the musicians are exploited in this way, they are not gaining the respect of audiences for being free with their bodies or taking risks, but exposing themselves to objectification and playing into destructive narratives.
Many female artists have been led to believe that their behavior is freeing them, all while they have been caught in the trap of the men who are telling them this. Their liberation looks more like bondage. It is not that women should live in fear of exposing their ankles or go back to Victorian ideals, but the behaviors that they have been conditioned to perform go against what they have named as a purpose. As a result, the behavior that is the new norm has created a binding narrative that forces women to play into the distorted ideals in place. They do not gain respect, but become pawns that play into false expectations.
The most current example of this playing out is Miley Cyrus and her recent performance at the VMAs. She has gained media attention for her behavior, but at what expense? Not only has she alienated younger audiences, but she has become a part of the narratives that she grew up exposed to. She was shown that exploiting herself in this way is what she needs to do in order to be successful in popular music. Because she was raised in a family that was immersed in the music industry, she has been conditioned to act this way. She is not the first, but only the most recent in a long history. We only have to look back at Britney Spears and Katy Perry to find the legacy that Miley has been indoctrinated into.
One singer who has gained popularity in a different way is Taylor Swift. She became popular at the same time as Miley Cyrus, but chose to present herself as the good girl. She does not behave in a way that is similar to Miley, but maintains a young audience by attaching herself to a narrative that is unlike the other, but still limiting and demeaning. Taylor has a little more control of her image because she writes her own songs, but she has a role to play. The script that Miley has picked up is only part of the dichotomy that women in music are forced to chose between. Each lies on different extremes, but they are both roles that prove to be restricting because they have to stay within the boundaries that have been put in place. Like Miley, Taylor has made choices about how she wants to present herself, though they are different.
Though both of these women chose different paths, they were trained in similar ways. They became popular about the same time in an institution known for the code that it creates for those involved. They choose people young to be a part of the music industry, but because they are young when they begin, they are more easily conditioned to fit certain roles. Once Disney is finished with them, the regular press takes over. They watch and wait expectantly for the young artists to come of age and then begin to interpret their behaviors as rebellion. Some, like Taylor Swift, choose to stick to what they were originally taught and do not break away from their image, but others have expected the reactions of the press for so long that they play along for the exposure. Miley had seen what had happened to other former Disney-made musicians, so she knew what could happen when she emerged from that world. There was a script ready and waiting for her when she turned eighteen. The press encourages these behaviors in young musicians for the sake of a spectacle that they love to hate.
One question that arises in this conversation about the roles of women in music is how Robin Thickes song Blurred Lines comes into recent events. Although Miley has received criticism for her performance at the VMAs, Robin Thicke has come away from it relatively unscathed. What we forget is that he was on stage with her and that he was a participant; we only focus on the part that Miley played in the performance. The fact that he wrote the song and that he was performing the song with her is often overlooked. If we pay attention, we can see that she is copying some of the tactics that he used in his music video. The foam finger that she used on stage was also a prop in the music video, and she acted like the nude, voiceless women from the music video who danced next to the fully clothed male singer, but she changed it by taking part of Robins role. Rather than remaining voiceless, she sang some of his lines to him. The same words that he said earlier somehow became worse when she said them. All of this is without even bringing the implications of song itself into consideration.
The lyrics come across blatantly as a situation of rape in many instances. Has anybody asked which lines are being blurred? And how about T.I.s rap in the song that assumes she wants her ### smacked and hair pulled? In one of the lines, he says, Ill give you something big enough to tear your ### in two. This, as well as calling her an animal, is demeaning. It is not clear why Robin thinks that being with a square who treats her with respect is a bad thing either. What this presents us with is a double standard within the industry and culture of music. The press has completely overlooked his participation while blaming Miley for what happened. They chose to focus on Miley, who was acting out the lyrics, rather than Robin who wrote them and acted them out with her. While Robin Thicke gets away with making women disposable sexual objects, Miley Cyrus gets criticized for playing along.
These are only a few examples of the double standards and female objectification that feminists have been trying to eradicate for so long that still lingers within our culture. These women have been exposed to an industry that tells them to act in a certain way, and it is up to them to decide how to respond. They can either do what the men in power tell them to in order to get attention from audiences, or they can try to go against the grain, running the risk of moving into obscurity. Unfortunately, the roles that are placed on these women will not change until men like Robin Thicke and those in power change.
Meanwhile, we criticize those who have been conditioned to perform these behaviors and continue to pay more attention to those who act in certain ways. This reinforces what they have been told and perpetuates the cycle that connects success in music to performance techniques. What we are forced to acknowledge in these situations is that despite feminist movements, we still do not know how to present female musicians.

Review: Play! A Video Game Symphony by Jacqueline Ristola
Monday, April 22, 2013
As I approached the DeVos Performance Hall January 29th, I noted my drastic lack of formal attire. With my jeans, tennis shoes, and backpack, it wasnt clear I was about to attend a symphonic concert. But to my relief, I wasnt the only one, for this concert was no ordinary Grand Rapids Symphony concert. The concert was Play! A Video Game Symphony, and gamers from children to adults came to listen to their favorite gaming themes.
The whole concert experience felt more democratic in nature; there was no assumed dress code for the event, though some chose to wear gaming T-shirts to show their pride. Gamers cheered loudly for their favorite games, starting the concert with continuous, uproarious cheering through the first piece, various Super Mario Bros. themes. Eventually the audience bridled their their enthusiasm at appropriate moments to listen, but their participation illustrates the communication between both parties, the performers and the audience. With the symphonys increase in live performances to film, this indicates the symphonys attempts at both broadening the scope of their audience and perforating the line between high culture and low (pop) culture.
Aiding in this democratization was Andy Brick, encouraging the audience to be vocal about their love for this music. Not only was he the conductor for the evening, a video game music composer and conductor of the Play! Symphony tour from 2006-2010. He took time to introduce each piece and the game the music was attached to, and illustrated the sense of pride and celebration of the gaming artform. Its hard not to get elated when the conductor himself sang along to the Dragonborn theme from Skyrim.
The music itself was thrilling, bring a full scope of textures and a richness to the music that. Having a full orchestra only amplified the mood and atmosphere of the pieces, especially the creepy tones to the Castlevania and Metroid themes. The video game footage playing on three large screens above the orchestra (which also cut to live footage of Brick and performers throughout as well) also helped set the mood and illustrated the artistry of both the music and game. The Legend of Zelda piece might have had the best combination of music and visuals. Beginning with the opening Zelda theme and beautiful images across the open plains of Hyrule, the experience was transcendent.
I suspect the Symphony will keep expanding the standard classical limits and integrate the popular arts into their performances. If their work is anything like Play!, breaking the high/low culture barrier will prove fruitful indeed.
Sigur Ros: Live in Detroit by Jacqueline Ristola
Wednesday, April 17, 2013
Driving down to Detroit, anticipation for the Sigur Rós concert was quelled by assigned readings and reflection. Remnants of a lecture lingered in my mind concerning the decline of the city, robbed of its vitality with the decline of industry in the nation. But within the city, a gilded stage remains, The Fox Theater, the destination of my friends and I for our eventful night.
There are many acts that are radically different seeing live than listening via an album. My Brightest Diamonds set last year comes to mind; full of masks, theatricality, and raw talent, Shara Worden elevates her music to beautiful performance art. The same might be said for Sigur Rós. With the elegant theater stage set with an opaque screen separating the performers from the audience, the concert began. Projections of light and images illuminated the screen, eventually culminating with a large shadow of a man lit to mythic proportions. That man would be Jónsi, wailing on his guitar with a violin bow, blasting sound to fill the room. At the apex of their second song in, the veil dramatically dropped, and the concert really began.
With a large encompassing screen in the back and small lights on the stage, Sigur Rós combines visuals and music as effectively as Ive ever seen in a large show, often connecting the two in terms of creates a cohesive atmospheric effect. The visuals always supported and added to the narrative effect of each song. Whether it be the slow plan up of revealing to be a mountain, a colored wave of light mirroring the surface of water, or the actual music video to the track itself, the production values illustrated themselves as more than just eye candy, but inherent to the performance itself.
The music was grand in every sense of the word; epic in scope and breadth, nuanced and mixed for clarity and precision, and performed to fill the auditorium to the brim with luscious sound. One highlight of the night included the performance of Brennisteinn, a heavier, metal-inflected track off their new album coming out this June. Another was a drifting vocal solo by Jonsi to finish a song, hitting a high note for over a minute with an almost beguiling sense of grace and serenity. With a mix of old favorites and newer tracks, one length encore was enough to make concert attendees fully satisfied.
Needless to say, my friends and I left the theater elated. One mentioned it was the best concert hed ever been to, while another mentioned it exceeded his already high expectations. Driving back, the night ended with the remark that every human being should see a Sigur Rós song performed live. Leaving the lusciously decorated Fox Theater into the disparate Detroit cold, I lamentably, yet heartily agreed.

Story at a Glance
Media Contacts
To showcase the unique achievements of District employees during Women's History Month, Mayor Vincent C. Gray today recognized a DC Department of Transportation (DDOT) staffer who is the nation's only black female state forester.
At his weekly City Hall Press Briefing, Mayor Gray highlighted the achievements of Monica Lear, Ph.D., for her work at DDOT. Dr. Lear is the Deputy Associate Director and State Forester for DDOT's Urban Forestry Administration (UFA). Dr. Lear is the first plant pathologist to hold the position of Deputy Associate Director in UFA.
"Dr. Lear is an example of the excellent talent we have working for us in the District government," said Mayor Gray. "She is an expert in her field, a trailblazer for African Americans in the field of forestry, and a role model for the youth of our city. Like Benjamin Banneker and Marie Maynard Daly and the other pioneers our children read about in their history books, Dr. Lear can inspire them to break new ground, challenge their minds and explore diverse career paths."
Dr. Lear earned her Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in plant health and a B.S. degree in horticulture from Louisiana State University. Before coming to work at DDOT, she served as the Assistant Director of Horticulture and Quarantine Programs at the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry and as an urban-horticulture extension agent for the Virginia Cooperative Extension in Arlington and the LSU AgCenter in New Orleans.
She is the first District of Columbia State Forester to represent state forestry agencies on the National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council (NUCFAC). The Council serves in an advisory capacity to Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack regarding the Forest Service's Urban and Community Forestry National Program.
In addition, just last week, Dr. Lear was selected by USDA's Forest Service to serve on a 24-member task force called Vibrant Cities and Urban Forests: a National Call to Action.
Dr. Lear joined DDOT in February 2007 and has helped Associate Director and Chief Arborist John Thomas mold UFA, also known as "d.Trees," into a highly respected and successful administration. With a staff of 17 certified arborists, UFA cares for the approximately 140,000 street trees in the District, plants more than 4,000 trees a year and handles more than 11,000 service requests annually for tree removal, pruning and storm damage.
"I am fortunate to work with colleagues who love what they do and who maintain high standards of technical and applied knowledge as it relates to practicing urban forestry in a large, urban metropolitan area." said Dr. Lear. "UFA has an innovative approach to urban tree care and we partner with citizens, non-profits, other District agencies, state and Federal partners and researchers to keep abreast of new science and industry based approaches, all with the goal of maintaining and expanding our tree canopy."
UFA's In-House Crew, under Dr. Lear's leadership, was recognized recently by the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). The ISA presented the In-House Crew with its Gold Leaf Award for outstanding Arbor Day activities in 2010.

Pick of the Pics
International Photo Contest winners announced
UNC Asheville's Study Abroad program has announced the winners of its International Photo Contest, an annual competition open to university students, faculty and staff. The photographs collected in this year's competition offer glimpses of communities around the globe, as members of the UNC Asheville family traveled to locations on every continent except Antarctica.
Psychology major Sarah Gahm ('14) took "Best In Show" honors for an image shot from a "mokoro," or hand-carved canoe, as she toured the shallow waters of the great Okavango Delta in Botswana. In the company of some local villagers, Gahm joined a group of international students to view hippopotamus, zebras, and other wildlife not so easily seen from the bigger boats frequented by tourists.
We want to encourage serious photography among our UNC Asheville
travelers, to help them see their new surroundings more deeply."
– Cara Gilpin, adviser, Study Abroad Program
"That picture doesn't fully express how beautiful it was up there," she said of her trip into the expansive natural areas of northern Botswana. The camping trip was one of several excursions she made during a semester of study at the University of Botswana in Gaborone.
"It was an eye-opening experience," she said. "African Studies classes at UNC Asheville teach a lot about Africa—the culture and political issues—but what you don't learn in the classroom is how to interact with people from different cultures, in their environment."
Contest organizer Cara Gilpin, adviser at UNC Asheville's Study Abroad Program, says the judges look for images that are especially thoughtful and creative, while depicting scenes that are unambiguously out-of-the-country. This year's contest received 43 entries. Volunteer judges from the UNC Asheville community selected first-, second-, and third-place winners in three categories (portraits, landscapes, and general subjects).
"We want to encourage serious photography among our UNC Asheville travelers, to help them see their new surroundings more deeply and create a photographic record of their experiences," Gilpin continued. "Sharing these overseas opportunities with the UNC Asheville community helps bring the world to Asheville and enables us to better understand our students' experiences.
All photos will be displayed in Blowers Gallery of Ramsey Library in April 2013. A reception will be held on Tuesday, April 9 from noon to 1 p.m., with the photographers on hand to relay stories about their travels and the photos.
And the winners are…
"I hesitate to use the word 'winners,'" said Cara Gilpin, adviser with UNC Asheville's Study Abroad Program, "since all photos submitted will be on display in Blowers Gallery for the month of April. But the top 10 will be enlarged significantly for display."

Wooden tray for use with a set of Lowenfeld mosaics, United Kingdom, 1930-1940
The Institute of Child Psychology used these simple wooden trays with sets of Lowenfeld Mosaics. Margaret Lowenfeld (1890-1973) was a paediatrician who became a pioneer of child psychology and psychotherapy. She recognised language is often unsatisfactory and even impossible as an expressive medium for children. She also recognised play is essential to their development. She developed non-verbal techniques to enable often traumatised children to convey experiences. Her mosaics used tiles of different colours and shape. These produced a powerful diagnostic and therapeutic instrument. The child was given the tray and the tiles and used the pieces any way they liked. The psychologist interpreted the patterns. The tray dates from around the 1930s. It is marked with the name 'T. M. Woodcock.' This refers to Thérèse Mei-Yau Woodcock. She was a later leading exponent of Lowenfeld's techniques.

A source is leaking that the current and former New Orleans Saints players suspended for their involvement in the bounty/pay-for-performance scandal declined a settlement offer made to them by the league on Friday.
Mike Florio wants Goodell to name names in the Bounty Investigation. In a recent post, Florio picked at the NFL's protection of the confidential witness(es) who helped the league build a case against the Saints coaches, players, and team.
"How can everybody think that when there's been no proof that's been put forth thus far?" he said. "There's been an investigation; there's been a lot of stuff put in the media as to what was going on. But is there any proof to back that up? No, there's not. Not yet."Drew Brees of New Orleans Saints rips bounty probe as NFL defends proof - ESPN

Quick Picks Policies and Procedures
To prepare an annual annotated list of recommended books appropriate for reluctant young adult readers.
The list is for young adults (ages 12-18) who, for whatever reasons, do not like to read. The purpose of this list is to identify titles for recreational reading, not for curricular or remedial use.
Anyone may nominate an appropriate title. Each nomination must be submitted on an official form. Nomination forms may be obtained from the YALSA website, from the YALSA office, or from the current committee chair. The chair must receive all nominations at least 60 days prior to the first day of the Midwinter Meeting to be considered.
Field nominations require a second from a Quick Picks committee member. Nominations must be submitted on the official form.
The chair informs the committee of field nominations, which will remain active until all nominations are closed. If no committee member seconds the field nomination, the title is dropped from consideration.
Nominations from authors or publishers for their own titles are not eligible for the list.
A book must have a copyright date during the current calendar year or have been published from July to December of the previous calendar year to be considered for the list. A book originally published outside the United States will be considered according to its U.S. publication year. Any book which was voted on at the Midwinter Meeting is not eligible for nomination the following year.
Series Fiction: If there are more than two books in year and they are all of equal interest to RR's, the book can be nominated "as a series" which means that committee members only have to read one of the books out that year, rather than the entire selection of books in the series published during the copyright year. Books published in the same series in a different copyright year must be re-nominated and read. All books appearing on the Quick Picks list must have been read by one or more members of the Quick Picks Committee.
All titles should have appeal as self-selected leisure reading for young adults. Books should be evaluated by subject, cover art, readability, format, style and teen feedback. Teen feedback from reluctant readers, is encouraged. Standard selection criteria consonant with the ALA Library Bill of Rights shall be applied.
Committee Members
The committee consists of 11 members who are appointed on a staggered basis to maintain a balance of new and continuing members. Committee members are expected to participate in the nomination process, to evaluate a large number of books, to read all nominated books, to attend all committee meetings and to actively participate in book discussions. Members are appointed by the Vice-President/President-Elect of YALSA for a one-year term, renewable for a one-year consecutive term. Reappointment is not automatic, but instead is based upon participation. The current President of the Association will appoint a new person to fill a committee vacancy, should one occur. After a member has served two years, a period of five years shall elapse before a committee member is eligible for reappointment.
The primary function of the Chair is to facilitate the committee's charge, to attend to all business matters, to maintain an accurate database of all nominated titles, and to communicate frequently with members regarding nominated books. The Chair also has sole responsibility for contact with publishers. The Chair enjoys the same charge and privilege of reading, nomination, discussing and voting for books as committee members. It is expected, however, that the chair should refrain from discussion of a title until all other members have had the opportunity to speak. The chair is appointed for a one-year term by the Vice-President/President-Elect of YALSA."
Selection of the annual list will be made during the last committee meeting at the Midwinter Meeting. Members can vote only on nominated books they have read. The final list will include books receiving seven (7) or more "yes" votes. In case of emergency, a member who has participated in the Midwinter Meeting discussions but must miss the final vote may give a signed ballot to the Chair, who will assign a voting proxy. The final vote will be counted by the Booklist consultant and the Chair.
Comments from Observers
Observers are welcome at all committee meetings. Prior to discussion of each title, observer comments will be invited. Publishers are requested to refrain from promoting their own books. Observers must be registered for the conference or have guest badges.
Availability of Lists for General Distribution The list of nominations will be updated monthly. The cumulative list will be available electronically on YALSA-BK. The final list of nominations will be available after November 1st.
The final list of selected titles will be available, as a press release, from the ALA Public Information Office the morning following the committee's last meeting. The press release will be posted on YALSA-BK. The list is also available on the YALSA website.
Revised by the YALSA Board June 2008 and August 2009.

works for Kempe Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect. The Center is part of the University of Colorado at Denver.
The Kempe Evidence-Based Mental Health Initiative will be developed by the Kempe Imhoff Clinic, which provides mental health services to trauma-exposed children and families referred from several community sites. Project goals include: 1) continuing clinical services at the clinic and expanding the evidence-based treatments (EBTs) offered by clinical staff, e.g., Alternatives for FamiliesA Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (AF-CBT); 2) increasing capacity of the clinic's military partners to identify children and families in need of mental health services, and developing specialty services for military families in the clinic; and 3) expanding the Colorado Evidence-Based Training Initiative to train mental health professionals (civilian and military) and child welfare professionals in trauma-informed, evidence-based treatment. The program expects to provide mental health services to 1,540 children/families and training to 760 professionals throughout the Western Mountain region.
The Gang Reduction Initiative of Denver - Trauma Treatment Project (GRID-TTP) in Denver, Colorado, will target youth aged 11-17, primarily African American and Latino/Latina, who are gang involved or at risk of gang involvement, and who reside in three Northeast Denver neighborhoods with high rates of community, domestic, and gang-related violence. GRID-TTP will be part of a citywide effort to reduce gang violence and to address the impact of this violence on city residents, especially Denver's youth. The project, implemented by a consortium of Denver government, community, and faith-based agencies, led by the Mental Health Center of Denver (MHCD), is based on the Comprehensive Gang Model developed by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. GRID-TTP will deliver two primary interventionsCognitive Behavioral Interventions in Schools (CBITS) and Structured Psychotherapy for Adolescents Responding to Chronic Stress (SPARCS)in three middle school, one high school, and five recreation/community centers in the targeted Denver neighborhoods. During the two-year project period, 140 unduplicated youth will be served, some of whom, along with their families, will be referred to other MHCD services.
Prior funding to the Mental Health Center of Denver supported the Family Trauma Treatment Program, which providd access for low-income children and families to community mental health services through a network of more than thirty locations throughout the Denver area. The program improved services and treatment for children who experienced trauma by implementing and evaluating evidence-based interventions in a variety of community settings including schools, shelters, juvenile detention centers, day care centers, and neighborhood clinics.

Turmoil besets London's Heathrow

U.S. travelers are suffering on miserably crowded and late planes this summer, with record delays for domestic flights.
Just be grateful you aren't flying through London's Heathrow Airport, where it's far worse, with passengers enduring monstrous lineups, mounds of lost luggage, and late or canceled flights.
This summer has been a perfect storm of security scares, bad weather, creaky infrastructure and understaffing problems at Heathrow, one of the world's busiest airports.
Conditions have become so poor that British political and business leaders in recent days have strongly criticized the airport, which is run by the privately-owned British Airports Authority and was designed to serve about 45 million passengers a year but now handles almost 70 million.
London Mayor Ken Livingstone told British media that poor service and infrastructure at Heathrow "shamed" the city.
Britain's economic minister, Kitty Ussher, has warned that the airport's delays and crowding threaten London's role as a financial center. (Some international business travelers, and vacationers, already avoid connecting flights at Heathrow, flying instead through Amsterdam or Paris.)
British Airways' chief executive, Willie Walsh, has called conditions at Heathrow unacceptable, telling the London newspaper The Independent that a luggage conveyor belt had broken down nine times over an 11-day period in June.
British Airways, the dominant airline at Heathrow, currently has the worst record among major European airlines for lost luggage, and suffers extensive flight delays. Lost luggage is piled in airport corridors and sometimes outside at Heathrow, and online forums bristle with comments from angry passengers whose suitcases have gone missing.
According to the Association of European Airlines, British Airways lost approximately 24 bags for each 1,000 passengers in the first quarter of 2007, compared to Air France's 14 and KLM's 17. (Overall, 85 percent of bags were eventually delivered to their owners.)
This summer, the delays and lost luggage have mounted at Heathrow and Seattleite Neal Friedman has first-hand knowledge of the problems.
The Seattle attorney, his wife and two teenage sons flew on British Airways via Heathrow from Seattle to Switzerland, and from Rome back to Seattle. Four of their five flights were canceled during their three-week trip, adding days of stressful delays and expense to their vacation.
Friedman has flown British Airways several times before and praises the in-flight staff, but said this summer's trip was a nightmare. He estimates he spent an extra $3,500 on substitute flights, train tickets, car rental and hotel rooms because of the canceled flights.
Marooned at Heathrow after one of the cancellations which were variously caused by a security scare that prompted an airport terminal evacuation and weather-related problems Friedman said "There was no information, inadequate staffing, lines so long that one could not determine what one was standing in line for, and no hope for getting service for many, many hours, if at all."
Giving up on the massive airport lineups for rebooking flights, Friedman desperately phoned his travel agent in Seattle in the middle of the night; she was able to book them on a British Airways flight the next morning to Switzerland.
After spending a night at a London hotel at their own expense the family returned to Heathrow Airport only to find that flight canceled (in the chaotic fallout of the security scare) and more massive lines of frustrated travelers. Advised by a British Airways staffer that it could be days before they could get a Geneva flight, Friedman frantically devised a new plan to get to Switzerland to meet up with their third son; take the Chunnel train to Paris, rent a car and drive all night to Geneva again, at their expense.

Efficiency Vermont's Second Refrigerator and Freezer Recycling Program offers free pick-up and removal of old, energy-wasting refrigerators and freezers, a $50 rebate, electric bill savings, and state-of-the-art appliance disposal and recycling.
Many people continue to use old refrigerators and freezers as secondary units even after buying newer models. Retiring a second refrigerator or freezer can result in saving up to $150 a year on your electric bills. Refrigerators and freezers manufactured before 1990 can use as much as 1,500 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity a year, or about 13% of the average Vermont home's annual energy usage.
When your fridge is picked up, it is sent to a recycling facility operated by JACO Environmental, a leading, national provider of appliance recycling services. JACO's process includes the recycling of nearly 95% of each refrigerator including metals, plastic, oils, and foam insulation. The foam removed from the appliances is incinerated and the heat generated from that incineration process is then used to create new energy.
To request a pick-up, please review the participation requirements and use the form below, or call JACO Environmental at 877-545-4113.

Propulsion International to Provide Engine Finance and Maintenance Solutions for TPE 331-12JR Caravan Conversions
It will provide financing as low as 5.5% for Cessna Caravan operators who choose to retrofit their airplanes with Honeywell TPE331-12JR powerplants and will offer its Group Maintenance Plan (GMP) coverage, as well.
Colorado Springs, CO -- July 23, 2012-- Propulsion International (PI) has announced that it will provide financing as low as 5.5% for Cessna Caravan operators who choose to retrofit their airplanes with Honeywell TPE331-12JR powerplants -- and will offer its Group Maintenance Plan (GMP) coverage, as well.
"Up to 100% financing is available for this turn-key conversion package, including acquisition, installation and STC certification of the more efficient and powerful TPE331-12JR on the Cessna 208 turboprop, and operators can reduce their payments even further by using the core value of the removed engine as a deposit," said Chad Ahrens, Chief Executive Officer of Propulsion International.
The Honeywell conversion will provide lower operating costs through operational performance and efficiency gains. In addition, PI's GMP offers the risk protections and further cost reductions typical of a tailored maintenance plan by reducing unscheduled service and, for some operators, nearly doubling time between overhaul (TBO) intervals. "PI's GMP Finance plans allow operators to convert their airplanes with very little out-of pocket-costs. They'll not only save money on the conversion itself, but will experience operational savings by capitalizing on the higher performance and greater efficiencies on an ongoing basis."
Since Propulsion International's GMP is a Honeywell backed program, the TPE331-12JR Caravan conversions will be accomplished at facilities authorized by the STC holders. Each GMP-enrolled engine is assigned a serialized account within Honeywell which ensures that all future maintenance can be preformed at the operator's choice of any Honeywell authorized service center worldwide.
About Propulsion International
Propulsion International provides GMP programs on Honeywell's TPE331-10, -11, -12, -14, and -10 conversions. With anytime enrollment, GMP is a full coverage maintenance solution, customized to meet the operator/owner requirements. It reduces the out-of-pocket costs for operators' initial maintenance, conversion, or retrofit, is fully backed by Honeywell and its Authorized Service Center Network. It provides benefits similar to those of Honeywell's Maintenance Service Plan (MSP) for its turbofan products, financing alternatives, and reduces downtime for maintenance with its engine exchange option, all at competitive prices. In addition, the Group Maintenance Plan incorporates a path for inspection interval extension for Part 91 operators, adding significantly to aircraft values. Programs are individually tailored to meet operator requirements and feature a unique "sunset" account where the unspent scheduled reserves are returned at contract termination or GMP can be transferred to the new owner at aircraft sale.

Here it comes, folks: death, destruction, and chaos. Along with bonus fireworks.
1) Trailer: There's a lot of telling going on in this preview. Damon tells Stefan that he's going to steal his girl. The sheriff tells someone off (anyone recognize the back of his head?) for wanting to use the town as bait. Anna tells Damon that when the fireworks start, bad things are going to go down. Damon tells Alaric that they might need a stake or two. Bonnie tells Elena, creepily, that she knows who she is, now. Jeremy tells Elena to go to hell.
Now comes the action: the sheriff gets clunked in the back of the head; Caroline lies in the middle of the road; Stefan runs like crazy; Jeremy stares into the mirror; Anna suggests turning him; a car crashes; Damon clutches his head in agony; Elena runs; Elena screams; there's fire; lots of fire; and the Salvatore brothers are involved.
Watch it for yourself and try not to die a little inside as you remember that Thursday is still five nights away.
2) Sneak Peek #1: Damon flirts with Elena to the point where she has to point it out. "Don't make me regret being your friend." She instructs him not to do that "eye-thing" with her anymore, and they promptly engage in it before she walks away. It's hot. In other news, when she sweetly apologizes to Jeremy, he tells her to go to hell. Oh brother.
3) Sneak Peek #2: Damon mocks Jeremy's teenage emotional stage, and tells him not to talk to his sister that way, ever again. (See Sneak Peek #1 for details.) Jeremy doesn't back down before Damon's intensity, and Stefan has to intervene.
Two things.
First, the obvious question of who is going to die. My first thought when they said it was an older and a younger character with interlacing storylines was Caroline and her mother, and the trailer seems to reinforce that theory. But is the CW really foolish enough to spoil the deaths within the season finale trailer? That would be a dumb, dumb move.
Another option is Jeremy and Uncle John, reinforced by Anna's comment about turning Jeremy. But I don't think that they'd kill off Uncle John so quickly as they haven't dealt with his status as Elena's father, and he hasn't got any 'lovin' in yet, which they said he would have. Also, Jeremy's death wouldn't be completely unexpected – he is so unhappy.
Are there any other options that you can think of? Remember: a series regular is going to die. Anna and Uncle John aren't series regulars. So if one or both die, one of our main characters is going to die as well.
Second, how far are they going to take the Damon/Elena relationship? From Sneak Peek #1, it seems that while Damon is head over heels, and Elena's at minimum attracted, she is still firmly on Team Stefan. I can't see that changing over the course of a single episode. Although TVD plows through storylines like a locomotive, so far they've been taking this one pretty slow. I was hoping for one little Delena smooch this season, but I have a feeling we will be denied that small pleasure.
Your thoughts? Please!

Artist Profiles
Peter Bernstein
Amazingly, this was only Bernstein's fourth ever solo gig, a new foray he began at the West Village club in July. "It's really just kind of an experiment," says Bernstein before a set at Smoke with organist Mike LeDonne's quartet. "I thought maybe it would be a chance, in a low-key setting, to tackle that and get my feet wet. But I didn't realize that, even though it's an early show and it's Smalls and it's relatively informal and casual, it's a listening audience so it's more like a recital." It is hard to think that Bernstein, age 42, has something that he hasn't done in his already varied and compelling career. Having been part of the bands of seminal players like Lou Donaldson, Jimmy Cobb and Dr. Lonnie Smith as well as those of peers like Larry Goldings, Eric Alexander and Joshua Redman, Bernstein's discography is voluminous, starting with a dream participation in the 1990 concert album Jim Hall and Friends Live at Town Hall.
Since that date, done while he was still a student at the New School, Bernstein established himself both as a leaderseven albums, most for the Criss Cross labeland a desirable sideman. A listen to one of his recent appearances, Don Friedman's Waltz for Marilyn (Jazz Excursion) or David "Fathead" Newman's final recording The Blessing (HighNote) reveals a sensitive and adventurous player who, above all, always sounds like himself. This may seem like a truism but in Bernstein's case, it has driven his development. "To me it's never been a thing of trying to recreate something or try to play someone else's sound, play someone else's stuff," he says. "It's just trying to develop a relationship with the instrument that's personal and then just keep my ears open to whatever attracts me. And listening to non-guitar players has done so much for me, trying to emulate the phrasing of horn players or different people's harmonic conceptions regardless of their instrument because then you have to translate or adapt it and you have kind of an obstacle to deal with in terms of playing the instrument." In Bernstein's playing, one can hear the lessons he must have picked up growing up in New York and seeing concerts by such players as Hall and Joe Pass (his first ever real jazz show and, to show that things come full circle, a solo performance) or listening to guitarists as diverse as Charlie Christian and Wes Montgomery to John McLaughlin and first love Jimi Hendrix. "The players that seemed to have a more personal sound," observes Bernstein, "they just played the instrument, like Jim Hall or Kenny Burrell or Grant Green, Charlie Christian, Jimmy Raney, it was their touch that really made their sound."
For those that like to oversimplify or categorize their jazz, Bernstein might seem to fit into the straight-ahead axis, given his associations and lack of modernist touches like effect pedals. But more accurately and refreshingly, Bernstein belongs to an older conception of jazz musician, one where people played with honesty, the results brimming with sincerity and transcending genre divisions, a lineage that stretches through figures like Ellington, Montgomery and Thelonious Monk. "To be on the cutting edge is to really improvise, however it comes out, if it comes out hip or it comes out old-fashioned, being on the cutting edge means you're really improvising and going up there without an agenda. I always try to keep that in my head, just because something looks hip doesn't necessarily mean that it's hip."
The connection to Monk is a particularly strong one. "He's just a great example of someone completely connected to the musical environment he grew up in but also completely original, completely found his own thing and went with that," says Bernstein. The guitarist's latest album was a challenge not unlike his recent ventures into solo playing, a disc solely consisting of Monk tunes done in trio with bassist Doug Weiss and Bernstein's longtime drummer Bill Stewart. Titled simply Monk and released on the reincarnated Xanadu label, this is only Bernstein's second trio album and first to include any tunes by the iconoclastic pianist. "I'd always been trying to learn his music, play a couple of his tunes here and there, but I got a chance to do this recording...I was thinking about doing some Monk tunes and... I thought why not try to tackle a whole record of Monk tunes, give it a kind of identity of its own hopefully. ...I feel like you have to play these tunes 20 years before you're really ready to do it but I didn't have 20 years so I tried to not do anything that different with the tunes. One tune we played in 5/4 so that changed up the feeling but everything else was pretty much the tempo that felt comfortable but not a radical departure from the original tune, just trying to get in the space of playing trio was the main thing too. Tackling his music I thought would make me play different which I think it did. It's a continuing thing for me. I'd like to do more of Monk's tunes and I'd like to do more trio for sure because of the space that it offers you."

Comments about Rockhide Strongfish
Below are readers' comments about "Rockhide Strongfish":
Rockhide Strongfish
Miniature, May 2008:
Well I finally caught the ellusive Strongfish. Well deserved I guess, since it took "26 Weeks" to get my first fishing hat and still have not recieve a pair of boot from the tournament.
Miniature, May 2008:
I did want to add I caught it on Mini, Im not sure if
I want to sell. I'm leaning towards no, since it's such a novelty even if I can't use it on my 19 twink.
Tsathoggua, June 2008:
I caught one myself [finally] on Tsathoggua. Donated it to a guild-member who roleplays a Sen'jin Fisherman [whereas Tsathoggua here is a brewer of booze], it being a RolePlaying server. A fun off-hand weapon for duels and for running mid-level instances with folks.
Calsh, June 2008:
Yep. I caught one a few months ago, and it's fun to dual wield it with either Old Ironjaw or Old Crafty.
It's also part of the "pirate tank" outfit that Calsh (a protection warrior) uses when helping out friends in low-level instances. The Rockhide Strongfish goes in the main hand, with Captain Rackmore's Wheel as my shield and a First Mate Hat on my head.
PiggyWiggy, August 2011:
Caught this elusive fish last Sunday after I won the derby. Decided to fish it out hoping for boots or the hat, heck even the line, but to my surprise up popped Rockhide Strongfish!!
Rockhide Strongfish
Durth, April 2009:
Just thought Id mention that I caught 2 of these today during the Extravaganza. I had already caught 2 queen fish in back to back pools really early before a winner was announced. Around the 38 min mark I got my first rochhide stronfish as I was heading down the west coast. The very next pool which was by the little bridge not far from the entrance to booty bay I caught a second one. I would like to make some big money off of 1 of them but it might be more fun to dual wield them in lowlevel zones. Afterwards I fished up the deadliest catch. Only Lurker, STV Win, and fountain left I think.

On the contrary with what JJ said, make sure to keep your strokes nice and confident even when you do make them slightly shorter, they look far superior than quick choppy and nervous lines. Also try to breakdown your subject; whether that is using negative spaces, a skeletal frame or doing what you did before and use basic forms and build it up, and experiment with guidelines (within reason, they need to obey some form of laws or else they won't make sense and won't give correct placements).
Also do pay attention to symmetry, don't make me find some medical journals ranting about the importance of biological symmetry xD
